Hello. My name is Fernanda, I am 33 years old, and I am originally from Sao Paulo, Brazil. I used to work as a teacher in Brazil. But I came here to the US in 2018, to study and work as well. Both my parents are teachers too. I have a degree in education and worked in the area for the past 11years(mostly with kindergarten and toddlers but I do have experience with older and younger kids). In the US, Ive been living in NYC for the past 3 years. Here, I worked as a live in nanny and took care of 2 kids(4,6yo). While in Miami (2[removed]), I took care of 3 kids. (4months, 9 months and 2 year old) - I can share all references!! I am patient, and nice w kids. I do not believe in time outs. For me, the best way to deal with kids is talking to them and make them understand what’s wrong and what we can do together to solve the problem and make things better. Also, I have experience with autistic kids, twins and triplets, new borns(bottle feeding, Sleep training, Change diapers and bath) and I used to give math private classes for 7-9yo I have a CPR certificate(in person2018/renewed online 2020) and I have an ESL course at Columbia University (NYC), along with a ADHD course from the university of NY. I like to do crafts, cooking and play board games with the kids, also spend time outside is my favorite! I think spending time with kids is always fun because every and each kid is different and we learn a lot of things together. In my free time I like to go to the park, the beach and, I also like watching movies. I have a dog and a cat and I love spending time with them - my dad is a biologist and so I was always around animals growing up! (: Good communication is the key for me to have a great work relationship I am more than happy to help with and whenever I can. Feel free to message me!

Hi parents, Caring for children is more than just a profession for me, it’s a passion that comes from both experience and motherhood. As a devoted mother of two, I understand firsthand the trust, patience and love it takes to nurture and guide children through every stage of development. With over 10 years of childcare experience, I have had the privilege of caring for children of various ages, helping them grow in a safe, engaging and loving environment. I believe every child deserves individualized care, encouragement, and opportunities to learn through play, exploration and meaningful interactions. My approach is centered around creating a warm and nurturing atmosphere where children feel secure, valued and confident. I take pride in supporting developmental milestones, fostering creativity, promoting positive behavior and maintaining open communication with parents. CPR and First Aid certified which adds an extra layer of reassurance, allowing you, the parent to feel confident that their children are in capable hands. As both a caregiver and a mother, I understand how important it is to find someone who will care for your children with the same level of attention, compassion, and dedication that you would. My goal is to become a trusted extension of your family while helping your children thrive, learn, and create joyful memories every day. I look forward to building meaningful connections with families and providing the loving, dependable care every child deserves.

Hello my name is Christine but most people call me Chrissy. Prior to babysitting I was a pre-k 3 teacher and I currently work with two on a weekly /as needed basis . I’m looking to assist families in a less institutionalized setting when the time permits.I love teaching and working with children has always been second natural for me . I have experience with infants-12 year olds and children on the spectrum. I also have experience with assisting children to cope with anxiety and/or behavioral patterns. I am CPR / first aid certified and I am also certified to use and administer epinephrine auto injectors. Aside from babysitting I enjoy DIY projects, traveling and learning new things. I’m bilingual, (English/Spanish) and I’m currently learning ASL. I’m a true believer that it takes a village to raise a child and as someone who doesn’t have children I’ve always done my best to help when I can!

“Christine was absolutely amazing! My children enjoyed their time with her. She was kind, punctual, and attentive to their needs. We look forward to having her back! ”

Dear Families, I’m Joycelyn, a certified NYS teacher for grades 1–6 and currently teaching 2nd grade. This is my second year teaching in the DOE. In 2023, I earned my Master’s in Teaching and Curriculum in Elementary Education from Columbia Teachers College. I’ve been working with children for over a decade—starting as a babysitter at 13 and later in daycares, preschools, elementary schools, day camps, and after-school programs. Along the way, I’ve gained experience with different teaching approaches, including Montessori and Cooperative Learning, and have also worked with children with special needs such as autism and ADHD. I grew up in Brooklyn and live in Park Slope. Outside of teaching, I enjoy traveling, cooking, arts and crafts, and reading thriller novels. I love sharing these interests with children, whether it’s through creative projects, problem-solving activities, or simply exploring new ideas together. Above all, my passion lies in creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where every child can thrive. ____________________ Booking Policies: *I kindly request the full fee for the entire scheduled duration, even if you return earlier. * I kindly request that for same-day cancellations, a fee of 25% of the booking fee be paid. Thank you in advance for your understanding, I look forward to working with your family.

"We absolutely LOVE Isa — our family was so fortunate to have found her through UrbanSitter. I'm a first-time mom, and it took me a long time to find a full-time nanny I could trust to care for our sweet infant boy. Our boy connected with her immediately, and we couldn't have asked for anyone else to care for him. Her calming presence was also perfect for parents like us who work from home. We feel so lucky UrbanSitter helped us find someone who has truly become a part of our family."

"I was so stressed about finding a part-time nanny for my 14-month-old son, who has moderate separation anxiety and hadn't been left with anyone but family before, but we were both immediately at ease in Buhay's presence. Her empathy and commitment to understanding child development are apparent in every interaction I've witnessed between her and my toddler. I feel very lucky to have found her."

"Erna watched our now 5 year old daughter and 3 year old son for a few years. She is punctual, responsible, honest, and playful. What we appreciated most was that she was thoughtful in ensuring that we had a little break; for example, when the kids were clingy, she was able to divert their attention with games or songs or walks to the park. We felt very comfortable leaving our kids with Erna because of her caring nature and experience that spans a decade (including being a live-in nanny)."
